they will want to know whether an equiv
lent has been given when the results Of
the extra session are laid before them. They
have not forgotten that the present COM
plications and the fearful disorder that
prevails in relation to the debt are the le-
climate fruits of the great crime which
was committed against Republican insti
tutions by the Legislature of 1SS3-S4. No
more glazing and offensive uSurpation and
despotism have shocked the moral sense OF
the 10Th century than that which character
lied that body in robbing the Governor Of
his constitutional prerogatives and the
people of their legally chosen repre-
sentatives. 1t is to that ill-gained power
the present confusion and complications
are due. 1t was the predominance of par
titan hate and passion over the laws, the
constitution and the rights of the people,
which was naturally followed by reckless
crudity and insane incapacity, in dealing
with the grave and vital affairs of State
It was rampant partizanism and not the
welfare of the Commonwealth which con-
trolled in all the acts and deliberations OF
that body. and the people have not for got
ten it. They will look for something bet
ter from the present Legislature when
convened in extraordinary session, to jus
tify the questionable action of the Gov
ernor in calling them together. They viii
have to acquit themselves with greater
ability and devotion to the true interest:
of the State, than were manifested in theil
regular session, to escape the indignant
condemnation of the taxpayers who will
have added to their burdens the $4,000
or more, which the extra session will i'm
pose. The managers of the party in poTe
must not presume too far upon the for
bearance of those whom they have regarded
as their followers. Party obligations res
). very lightly upon the people. They hav'
i borne with wrongs and expressions, by rea
/ son of their party allegiance, until forbear
I ance las ceased to be virtue. They ART

picture of the management of the Am

to the court rejecting on the management

structed to make an examination. Eight
OF them visited the premises, and were
shocked to find the condition of affairs they
did. The female inmates complained of
being subjected to treatme Mt too appalling
to be described, and of abuses which could
hardly be considered possible in civilized
land. Their description of the morals of

Hon. Jno. S. Wise in Detroit.

DETROIT. FEB. %, 1887.
Editor Valley Viryiasia,a:
l send you full report of the second an
niversary banquet of the Michigan Club
" hich includes the speech of Hon. John s
Wise, of Virginia. 1t is embraced in the
account of the banquet published in the
Detroit papers forwarded by this mail.
To say that he captured the admiration
and the hearts of all the 2 400
men and women who heard him is faint
praise.
The day after the banquet the Republi.
can State Convention was held in this CITY
for nominating judges of the Supreme
Court and regents of the University.
One or two of the delegates thought they
saw Mr.. Wise in one of the boxes and be.
gan calling his name, whereupon it seem
ed that nearly every one of the 800 del
egateS, and as many more who were not
delegates, sung out his name. The Chair
man, however, was compelled to disappoint
them by saying that Mr.. Wise left the city
early in the morning for the East.
All of the daily papers without excep-
tion refer to him and his speech with un-
bounded commentator. The Eyenipo

swept over his magnificent audience waves
of pathos, admiration and glory which
could not help but inspire the fullest
depths of love and veneration for the great
man whom the American people are never
too busy to remember, at least one day in
the year."
The Michigan Club is Republican in

Detroit, and its membership, including it's
branches in the int erior of the State, num-

The Princess rink is admirably adapted
for the purpose. The tables will seat over
fourteen hundred people, leaving extra
space on the ground floor and galleries for
an equal number, and 1t was filled to over
